Update at a Glance

For companies that want to grow globally, there's good news. For the past several years, worldwide growth has outpaced analyst forecasts. New markets — including the densely populated India — have emerged. Millions of new customers are spending money. At the same time, technology has fostered the development of a dynamic global economy that functions regardless of physical borders. These factors have given rise to a marketplace poised for international trade and expansion.

In our new Trading Places Web Conference Series, experts from The Bank of New York Mellon will offer a monthly commentary about international trade issues and focus on the particulars associated with the countries that are considered today's hot beds of global commerce. Each one-hour session is complimentary and will include:

• A general overview of the country and its political/economic structure
• The outlook for future trade activity
• An analysis of recent trends
• An overview of risks of doing business
• An opportunity for you to ask questions of the presenters
